    I made one Bow Tucks purse, 1 towel with a snowman panel, 6 pincushions. Now I'm making 8 more pincushions.

    I made 4 lap quilts for our grandchildren 17 yrs to 11 yrs old. Made them size to suit and themes based on their interests. Designed them and had a wonderful time sewing... sent them off to Texas and they were all hits...score 4 for granny ;-) Also made a Lovie Quilt for my friends new great grandson.

    I made 2 lap quilts... One for my MIL (85) and another one for a dear friend (88) I've knows since I was 14. She's almost a 2nd Mother to me. Both loved their quilts.

    I made my daughter a quilt as you go, queen size. She loved it. Everyone else got pillow cases. My two year old nephew thought his was a sleeping bag and had to nap in it.

    I sure did. I made DS and DDIL a patchwork tree skirt with asst. squares on one side and an old world type Santa fabric on the reverse side, plus 3 stockings one for my son, my DIL and last but not least my darling grandaughter Zoe who is 19 months - boy was Christmas fun with here. I also made them an extra long tablerunner with Insul-Brite plus another layer of Warm & Natural to use on their buffet type so the coffee pot won't scorch their buffet top. In addition, I made 4matching placemats. I made a set of 4 placemats for DDIL's parents and I received a wonderful basket from them with home made strawberry rhubarb jam, blueberry jam, zucchini relish and pickled zucchini and summer squash. She made me scrubbies crochet with netting, they do a great job on dishes, plus 2 crocheted dish cloths and a dish cloth. Very thoughtful and very delicious. I also made 6 batches of fudge in various flavors, although I realize that doesn't come under the heading of anything sew/quilt gifts. I made two baby quilts for my daughter to give to friends who recently had babies, and when I can nail her down on what she wants in her kitchen, I will make her a couple sets of placemats, she already has 7 or 8 that I have made her. Now I'm going to make some placemats for me for Christmas, after all that hard work I thought I should get some kind of reward. Then I'm going to work on finishing all the other projects I had planed for this Christmas and maybe get a head start on next Christmas. Happy Holidays and Happy quilting to all.

    YES! I made 2 king size quilts, 4 shams and 1 large bedrunner which was to be used as a table runner for a very large table. I sewed the last stitches on Friday before Christmas! Not all I did all year, since I made 2 other king quilts with shams and one appliqe baby quilt!

    Made some pillowcases ,knitted many scares, and finished a funky monkey quilt for my oldest daughter (inside joke). Working on a UT quilt for SILs birthday in a month. So many other plans already on my book for the new year. Guess I better get off the computer.
